考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
Of course, it is not like you can take an unemployed waiter and train him to be a doctor in a few（一些） weeks. But even if（即使） you cannot close that gap（缩小差距）, maybe you can close others, and doing so would be to the benefit of all concerned. That seems to be the case in Sweden: When forced to furlough 90 per cent of their cabin staff, Scandinavian Airlines decided to start up a short retraining program that reskilled the laid-off workers to support hospital staff. The effort was a collective one and involved other companies as well as（和） a Swedish university.
短文翻译
当然，这并不是说你可以在几周内把一个失业的服务员训练成一名医生。但是，即使你不能缩小这一差距，也许你可以缩小其他差距，这对所有相关方都有利。瑞典的情况似乎就是如此:当90%的空乘人员被暂时解雇时，斯堪的纳维亚航空公司决定启动一个短期留用计划，对被解雇的员工进行重新培训，以支持医院员工。这是集体的努力，涉及其他公司和瑞典的一所大学。

题目解析
25.【解析】细节题。由题干关键词“Scandinavian Airlines ”定位至文章最后一段“Scandinavian Airlines decided to start up a short retraining program that reskilled the laid-off workers to support hospital staff.”（斯堪的纳维亚航空公司决定启动一项短期再培训计划，以重新培训下岗工人以支持医院工作人员），【A】prepare their laid-off workers for other jobs（使下岗工人为其他的工作做准备）是本句的同义替换，故选【A】。 【B】项：为失业者创造职位空缺，文中未提及，无中生有；【C】项：重新培训客舱工作人员以获得更好的服务，重新培训的目的不是为了更好的服务，而是为了支持医院，偷换概念；【D】项：资助员工的大学教育，文中未提及，无中生有。
